Street View

Works nicely

Voice instructions sound a bit too mechanichal.

Some glitches and fc's and strange vibrations here and there.

2 question though:

Why the instruction to go back to the market to install Street View?

Why not restore from Titanium Backup?

Is there a reason for that?

And I still do not understand the difference between the 2 versions, can someone please explain?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
Thanks. for taking the time fixed it

If you have the latest version of street view.apk on your sd card or backupt on a pc

makes no difference! everybody can get it from the market. The resign version you can update from market (but lose nav), put in /system/app and one you can't update put in /data/data. It says so in the first post ..
[Android Apps and Games] tobats120:
This is great! Finally!

For those who have trouble working their way out of "application not installed" like myself, here's another method you could try.

1. Of course, root your phone.

2. Download Super Manager (root explorer) from market and enable root explorer from settings

3. Use the apk manager to uninstall google maps

3.1 If it doesn't work, open root explorer first then go to /system and make sure to mount r/w and repeat step 3​

4. Using root explorer, copy maps5.x-ownhere-resign.apk to /system/app

5. Install maps5.x-ownhere-resign.apk

Tested on Optimus P500. And before I forget, make sure to backup google maps first. :)

HELP! It doesn't work for me!

I've just done everything abowe and...nothing!

Delete cash, remove maps using titanium.

Delete cash, remove street view using titanium.

Pushed maps5.4.0-ownhere-resigned.apk to system/app using adb

Reinstalled street view from market and... NOTHIG! I have no maps icon in launcher, no street view icon in launcher, the apk file is where it should be.

What am I doing wrong? Help...
[Android Apps and Games] chowlala:
You didn't reboot after removing the app.
[Android Apps and Games] kaibird:
I didn't see any warnings in the notification bar

however, I reboot my phone and it's working perfectly now

thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
It works fine on my samsung galaxy s (rooted, gingerbread) - India

Step followed is :

1. Clear map cache n data from setting-appl-manage app-map

2 Wipe data from Titanium backup, and uninstall

3 installed resign pack - Not successful

4.Installed map from marked

5 Repeat step 2.

6 Install resign pack

Then it was successfull

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] jaraya13:
It doesn't work for me either, I have tried everything! Maybe it is ROM related, I am using "update-inspired-ace-1.0.1-full"
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
When you say you tried everything I assume you tried push ADB?
[Android Apps and Games] torqtech:
Working great on HTC Desire. Its just that google maps has very vague lanes and street data for my country so navigation isn't very good.

But the application in itself is working great.

This was the only thing missing when i upgraded from a nokia 5800 which had excellent voice guided navigation from Ovi Maps. Thanks a Lot!:)
[Android Apps and Games] jaraya13:
Yes, everything. But actually it was ROM related, I installed CoreDroid yesterday, did the procedure described in page one, and that was it, it is working great now! Thanks a million pal.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
I'm glad it workt out for you ..;)
[Android Apps and Games] twanku:
hi all,

using TB only method with resign version did not work, but finally forced it into the phone by the TB/root-explr method using non-resign version (quote from old post, so plz dont mind the version number) on android 2.3:

"1. Wipe cache and Uninstall Maps and StreetView using Titanium Backup.

2. Using Root Explorer, copy maps5.3.1-ownhere.apk to /system/app. Forget the resign one (never worked for me)

3. Hold maps5.3.1-ownhere.apk for further options and choose Permissions.

4. Uncheck the entire Execute Column, and uncheck the second option in Write column.

Example: Read-------Write-------Execute

-o-----------o------------x-

-o-----------x------------x-

-o-----------x------------x-

5. Reboot the phone."

(thanks to whoever posted this)

on another note:

just curious, the 5.4 feature states "map tiles caching on SD card" but i see no option for this in maps. im assuming it's auto configured to do so by this modded version of maps by ownhere. someone please do confirm this as i wouldnt want to be caching tiles into internal memory in the next few weeks just to clear cashe right before my trip due to memory shortage. thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] soder:
Yes, the caching is automatic.

Don't forget to rename to Maps.apk and then run fix_permission in a terminal and then reboot.

The brut mod used to have a version that was renamed so that it could be installed alongside the original application. It would be nice to have the same thing of the ownhere mod, I think it would work alongside the official google app. I would also love to see that as my wife does not allow me to root her Nexus S, but this way she cannot have google navigation here in Hungary.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:

Just a quick question: what's the difference between re-sign version and normal version? Installing this mod for the first time :)
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
The resign version you can update from market (but lose nav), put in /system/app and one you can't update put in /data/data. Tro jeg har svar på dette spørsmålet mangen ganger ,det det står på første side ....;)
[Android Apps and Games] C3-P0:
Hi, there are several "map downloaders" which work with multiple map sources, including GM. They download maps by coordinates and allow offline viewing later. They are probably made to work with the official GM application, but I wonder if they also work with this modded version. I know they would be rather redundant since this version is able to cache maps on its own, but still I'd like to know :) Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
Is this happening only to me? Or did anyone else notice?

I am getting overlapping voice instructions. Like in the middle of a command, I hear part of the previous command.

for example:

I have to turn right to rout 24, and then remain on that rout for 500 meters.

The instructions I here go like this:

1. Turn right to rout 24

2. Remain on Turn right rout 24 for 500 meters

This is very confusing.

And I have to say it does not happen ALL the time. But sometimes it does.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
If you have mor than one voice engine you use like espeak TTS and svox classic TTS I can imagine that they can blend ..
[Android Apps and Games] Ommadawn101:
Thank you for the quick response!

I browsed through my installed apps, and found:

1. Pico TTS

2. TTS Service 2.2

Which of them would you recommend to unintall?

Or should I install a completely different tool?

Thanks

Funny thing, when I go to the market and select My Apps, neither of them appear as apps I installed. Where did they come from? Is it possible that a phone comes with 2 different TTS's?

no problem.

Good to know.
[Android Apps and Games] aabhash:
this method works

Thanks all the guys for this wonderful idea and I say this is wonderful achievement for people like us who dont have these sophisticated service in our country/s.

I just used the method above and successfully got navigation working on my phone.

When I started with above method, I wasn't a lot sure and I had confusions in later steps. So, I am writing the steps I did, hoping that some new guys like me would find helpful in getting it done.

1. Download Maps5.4.0-ownhere.apk from the original post above.

( I didn't try the earlier version as I wanted to test the latest one!)

2. Go to settings>applications>manage applications and then select Maps and clear the data. Do this for Street view as well if you have it installed.

3. Using Titanium Backup, make a backup of the Maps and Street View also(if you already have it installed). Uninstall both application using Titanium Backup

(It took me a day to properly configure Titanium Backup and get it to working, of course my phone was rooted, the problem was I had app2SD enabler and all the apps were installed to SD card by default, so I had to move the Titanium Backup to phones memory and update busybox and su to get TB working!)

4. Copy the Maps5.4.0-ownhere.apk file to System/app folder in your phone. If you dont know how to do this, you have to use file explorers like root file explorer. Root File Explorer worked for me, but make sure you mount the directory to R/W mode before pasting the file to System/app, only then you'll be able to paste the file into this directory. If you use root file explorer, you'll get option to do 'Mount R/W' at the top right of the explorer.

5. Long click (or tap) this file and go to permissions of this file and uncheck all the permissions mentioned above. (see the post above)

6. Rename Maps5.4.0-ownhere.apk to Maps.apk

7. Download Street View from market. ( I dont know if this is needed but I downloaded/installed it) and one more thing, if you are in country where navigation is not supported, street view may not be available for your mobile. It wasn't there for me to download as I'm in Kathmandu.

So, I used market enabler to fake my carrier to US mobile and downloaded the Street View. You can use market enabler for getting access to apps which are not available in your country.

8. Reboot the phone and if you've got all the steps done properly, you're ready to go.

This worked for me and hope this works for you all.

I intended this post to new guys like me and please remember that it's not a single shot for you to succeed. It will take some research and some of your own idea as well to make things work for you.

And I dont know whether the caching is default to SD card. After I used it for the first time, I browsed the SD card files and I cant figure out any particular location where maps data are stored. It may be stored in the phones memory.

Have fun!

Cheers

Voice commands overlapping

After some research (and posting a question on XDA), I found out that the apps I have, are the original default system apps, and nothing is wrong with that.

http://goo.gl/sohug

Yet, while navigating, I am getting from time to time overlapping voice commands.

Am I the only one that has this problem?

This is so strange
[Android Apps and Games] santosh.ns:
Works great on LG P500, thank you stian230!

Method used was to uninstall original maps using Super Manager (need to give RW permission to system folder) and installing Maps5.4.0-ownhere.apk. No manual copying, permission change etc. was required.

I don't want to accidentally get their official updates, hence used normal version, not resign. Would rather prefer to stick to current version and retain navigation. Hope what I did was what I intended (resign versus normal is confusing for me!)

Earlier, I had unsuccessfully tried to remove original maps.apk from system/app. Surprisingly, it reverted back to official gmaps in spite of that when I rebooted. Wondering how it happened, how could I run it when the apk file was not present? Does it reload the app from market if not "uninstalled" properly? (It is a preloaded system app in my case.)
[Android Apps and Games] chiaotzu:
Nice project there. :)

Any plans for adding support for non-rooted devices? Also would love to get brut maps like functionality for offline maps supports which allows us to load maps from SD card via cached tiles either via folders of zoom levels or zip of all those folders.
[Android Apps and Games] kemeas:
After I do this, the navigation instructions are still in english, but read in the TTS voice that I downloaded. Actually the whole app seems to be in english only. Any way to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
Odd.. Have you download your language from the marked ?
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
In text to speech setting , do you find "Always use my setting?" check mark it and try. b'coz this setting will override your setting over application setting
[Android Apps and Games] AfzalivE:
can you plz make a version that is renamed like brut-mod was. so that both maps can stay there?

thanks!

Uhh... what do you mean? The phone is set in my language, I have TTS properly installed in my language, but Maps is in english. I'll go try reinstalling.
[Android Apps and Games] dr.ketan:
he saying, after installing TTS, select language, if you have installed it then have you activated it from thr? Just TTS is not enough, you have to install voice from catalogue thr, and if installed already, just activate it

Cataloge appears like this
[Android Apps and Games] kemeas:
Yeah, I have TTS and the voice pack properly installed. Maps reads out the navigation instructions in the voice I downloaded. It's just that Maps (& navigation instructions) are in english, so it sounds quite weird.

Tried Ownhere 5.4, 5.3.1 and 5.2.1, wiped Maps data/cache in between, but the app stays in english. Odd.

When you try to log on you get the three warning triangles in the status bar press to give permission to the login
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
With this mod you must delete the original maps so falshe.zip not go.

There are quite many alternative ways to install but if you have tried ALL of which are posted in this tread, there is litte chance of ever going to get it. not find your free apps in the market, doubt that it has something to do this apk.
